Super Fast All-Electric Lightning GT Supercar

It seems like only yesterday we were raving about the new all-electric Lightning GT supercar concept vehicle. Now, nearly two years and numerous development stages later, a sexy prototype is hitting the test tracks -- and boy is it fast! Translogic, the American rivals to the British car television sensation Top Gear, were the first to take the James Bond-esque coupe out for a spin, putting its innovative green features to the test. Check out their video after the jump!
